I said, "Alice! Can I talk to you for a second?"
She stopped going through my closet and I said, "I hear Esme's birthday is coming up soon."
Alice said, "Yeah. It's tomorrow."
I smiled and said, "I want to do something for her."
Alice was instantly sitting on the bed. She asked, "What?"
I said, "You and Rose will need to help. I'm planning on putting on a performance."
Alice blanked out and then gave me a bouncy hug that nearly broke my ribs. She squealed in my ear, "Rose is going to say yes and I love your plan! We'll do it!"
I grinned and pulled a shoebox out from under my bed. I pulled off the top and took the dress out. It was zebra print with maroon circles all over it and maroon cuffs on the sleeves. Alice squealed and dove back across the blue room to my closet. After pulling out a pair of black high tops, she said, "This is gonna be good!"

"What are you up to, guys?" I asked suspiciously.
Alice said, "Oh, you'll see!"
She finished towing me to the kitchen, winked, and ran upstairs. The boys walked in and all their expressions, even Carlisle's, was mischevious. I accused, "You four are hiding something!"
Emmett asked innocently, "Who, us?"
I narrowed my eyes and said, "Boys..."
The 'dissapointed mommy tone' as Emmett called it was evident in my voice. Instead of responding they just sat down on the couches. That's when I got my surprise.
B POV
Alice finally finished putting on Rose's and my makeup and we walked down the hallway. Rose clicked a button on a remote and we jumped onto the stairs. Alice, Rose, and I began singing as Jasper flicked the switch on the paper lanterns we had made.
I don't want to make a scene
I don't want to let you down
Try to do my own thing
And I'm starting to figure it out
Cause it's alright
Keep it together wherever we go
And it's alright, oh well, whatever
Everybody needs to know
You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try
And you need to know that you're the reason...why
I don't even care when they say
You're a little bit off
Look em' in the eye, I say
I could never get enough
'Cause it's alright
Keep it together wherever we go
And it's alright, oh well, whatever
Everybody needs to know
You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try
And you need to know that you're the reason...why
If it was raining, you would yell at the sun
Pick up the pieces when the damage is done
You say it's just another day in the shade
But look at what a mess we made
You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try
You might be crazy have i told you lately that i love you?
You're the only reason that im not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is i have to im not afraid to try
And you need to know that you're the reason why
We finished and were immediately wrapped in a bonecrushing hug from Esme. She said, "You three are the best daughters a woman could want!"
Esme finally let go and we could see the huge smile on her face. She turned on the boys and accused laughingly, "You knew!"
Rosalie said, "Actually, they helped us set up the whole thing!"
She ran and hugged all of them at once. Finally, she sat down and said, "I have the best family!"
